FC Ylivieska II + III, Seiska

Väsymättömät - FC Y III   1 - 0

Kaustinen, Urheilukenttä

One of the most even games I have played ever since I came to Finland ended with an unlucky result for us. With only 12 players (second half 11) we fought hard against Kaustinen's home team who had 21 players available for the game.

We played a quite nice football, much more technical than the home team which focussed on long balls behind our defense line. But the defense stood solid and anything which came through was easily caught by our pro keeper.

We had a couple of good chances, for example our younglings Verneri and Vilho, but the ball either missed the goal by a bit or Kaustinen's keeper paried our shots, even if it would mean having to sacrifice his nose's healthiness for it. ;-)

When everything looked like this would be a fair 0-0 draw, one Kaustinen player scored a lucky punch goal in minute 88. It was an 18 meters shot, volley, straight to the most right corner of our goal. Goal-of-the-month-style.

The game thus ended with a cheering home team and sad Ylivieskalaiset. But we can be proud of our game nonetheless. It looked quite nice, even if we don't really train, have tactics, know each other well and so on.

On a personal note, I believe that football without constant substitutions looks and is better. I also enjoy it much more than the usual 15-15-15-15-15-15. I didn't even have any pain whatsoever after the game despite running for 90 minutes. I don't remember my last pain-free game. ;-)

One last observation: All three opponents in Seiska this season were much better and tougher than the opponents in Vitonen (except our edustusjoukkue, of course). So much for having a relaxed ikämies-season this summer. ;-D
